BOTTLED 6/27 - READY TO SHIP FALL 2025(NO POINT IN OPENING THESE NOW)
PLEASE DO NOT SHARE SOURCING DETAILS OR LINK TO PRODUCT
Sourced from one of the legendary blocks of the “vineyard that shall not be named that stretches from Atlas Peak to Pritchard Hill” and weighing in at $250/bottle, Lot 14 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blockbuster masterpiece at an incredible price.
There are only 90 cases and 150 of you so, to make sure everyone gets a shot at this, I will limit the initial release to 6-packs only and then, once the dust has settled, give first purchasers priority option to purchase a second 6-pack.
I promised our Founding Members some exceptional exclusive offers, I am am confident the Cabernet lovers will be gobsmacked by this stunning Cabernet.
100% new French Oak. Squid ink in the glass with a dark black core and just a kiss of brick around the rim. The dense, brooding, concave nose draws you down into a tightly wound bouquet of graphite and cedar with a white flower halo that, with a couple of swirls, begins to bloom with blackberry jam, licorice, crushed red rock and iron eventually complexed with morello cherry liqueur. Tightly wound on entry running smack dab into a massive, impenetrable ball of chewy tannins eventually unfurling gobs of chocolate and black pepper in a long but tightly wound finish. Hugely structured and pretty much all baby fat right now but the monumental structure here promises great things to come.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
100% Napa Valley, single-block, single-vineyard grown at 1500-feet of elevation
15% alc.

Sourced from a producer that rhymes with HACKDONALD and JACKDONALD and also LACKDONALD, I can say NO MORE! Forget about what it costs from the producer, you can’t buy it! UNTIL NOW!

I’m skeptical that MacDonald had wine they couldn’t sell having been on their waitlist for at least 5 years. Maybe it’s a lower quality, version?

The Baldacci website says that the Honey B Vineyard in Carneros became an estate vineyard in 2008. So what are the chances that 2023 was their first Chardonnay produced from the Vineyard? Also, gets only 20% new French oak.
That is unless lot 9 comes from a different first time Vineyard.

Respectfully, Cam asked to NOT guess the producer of lot 14. Please respect his wishes so we don’t ruin a good thing.

“rhymes with HACKDONALD and JACKDONALD and also LACKDONALD”
“100% RHYMES WITH BACKDONALD”
From @MatthewT’s post above.
LOL!
That’s just @MatthewT going back to the old days when every guess for every wine was “Maybe it’s Macdonald!”, when in reality let’s face it, it never is.

How are we feeling about the CAM X name and labels now that the dust is settling?
I’ve always thought it would be cool to do something like this but i’m sure bottle printing is prohibitively expensive
